Pittsburgh Fans Board Special Flight to Paris for Steelers’ First-Ever NFL Game in the City
- On Sunday, the New Orleans Saints and Pittsburgh Steelers play the first NFL game in France at the 81,338-seat Stade de France in Saint-Denis, marking a historic expansion of American football into Europe.
- Work on the hybrid playing surface began six months ago at an Italian farm near Milan, with field director Nick Pappas overseeing preparation to ensure the turf provides stability for American football players.
- The stadium underwent significant alterations, including expanding locker rooms for the 53-man roster and installing communication cables for league operations. Crews also erected yellow goal posts at both ends.
- Jon Barker, NFL's global head of major events and international games, called the event a long-term investment. The league is opening offices in France and plans to play many more games there.
- France becomes the ninth non-U.S. country to host an NFL game, joining a record 2026 international schedule spanning Australia, Brazil, and Europe. The expansion reflects the league's push to build a global fan base.
